That design was only minted in Mexico from 1773 to 1788, so that'll narrow down the date range for you. As for authenticity and value; I don't see...
I have spent 10 hrs a day, for many, many weeks, on the bottom of the ocean running an air-lift while working a Spanish wreck. Point being I...
To be honest I doubt that coin came from the wreck, or any wreck - it's way to smooth looking. Granted the pics aren't the best, but if you have...
Reaperz, try looking here - https://www.cointalk.com/forums/numismatic-resources.33/ You can find more than just a little bit right there.

Let's assume for a minute that this idea would work, it won't but just for the sake of argument let's assume that it would. Many fakes are made...
My guess, some kid got bored and decided to see what he could do to it with a file.
Hmmm - sounds like you better just pray that you never discover world coinage ! :D
Not necessarily so. It is not at all unusual (as Larry mentioned) for fingerprints to not be visible when you get the coin, and for them to be...
Pardon the interruption, but the person you were speaking too, is at least twice your age. And yeah I know how old both of you are. I now return...
I believe that provides the answer for the OP's question. Or parts of it anyway, I downloaded the file you need to download but I didn't check...
